The Walking Dead Season 3 tonight! (NO SPOILERS ALLOWED!!!)

[skinsfan07]

So can we talk about last night's episode or not? Because it seems pointless to have a Walking Dead thread but we can't talk about the episode since that would be a "spoiler." How bout you don't come into the thread if you haven't seen the episode? I know I wouldn't.

I think Jumbo means no spoilers from the comics.

I suppose you could get the energy from chemical/biological reaction,but it would seem they would waste away eventually
decomposition combined with some microbe to utilize the gases/chemicals released could certainly generate energy.


maybe that is why they need flesh, as far as brains....they seem far from cerebral,and if you remove the need for thought and body system support is much really needed?....is walking ,grasping.chewing that difficult?

I'll defer to those that have studied people from Arkansas

Yeah, you'd figure the walkers at least in the prison cells would have decayed away by now - doubt they've tasted flesh. But alas...

Loved the episode! Rick, while an improved badass, seems to be somewhat of an ******* now. I dig how the remaining camp is trained on weapons... "don't break rank!".

LOL @ Carl yielding a gun landing headshots...Damnit Carl!

I feel bad for Herschel - I hope he survives.

Loved the ending... "Holy ****!"

the dog food was a nice touch

Loved the ending... "Holy ****!"

Yea when I saw the previews for this season, I thought the standoff at the prison was going to be between the Rick's group and whoever Andrea and Michonne end up running in to. But I guess the standoff will be with the survivors they saw at the end of the episode?

Also, i really liked the opening of last night's episode. I felt like that was the most realistic portrayal of what the group would be going through. It's not all CDC buildings and farms.

You may be right, but I'm not sure about that... You notice that one of the surviving inmates on the left hand side is yielding what looks to be a broom stick. the dude that says "holy ****" seems to be more surprised than anything. I assumed that these guys sort of locked themselves up from the inside for protection, not having the strength/weapons/numbers to ward off the walkers. Perhaps they'll join forces?

Of course I could be completely wrong...

[earl]

I didn't read the comic but i'm guessing that Lorrie and/or baby dies. (hoping really). there is no way the baby can make it in this world. and Lorrie just annoys the hell out of me.... also with Hershel sure to die i think that the inmates will be a problem because of the females in the group... specifically the youngest daughter. I think they have to team up seeing as the inmates probably have all the supplies by now and know the fascility. If i'm right i can see Carl getting violent w/ the inmates as he seems to like the daughter.

[twa]

why can't it survive?...the Turdlet has despite his best efforts at a Darwin award

I'm sure there will be conflict related to the females/convicts, things were getting too settled in the group

[renaissance]

I hope they don't go that direction with the females and the dudes who are in the jail. It's such an obvious story line.

[earl]

yeah, but the webisodes may have alluded to the treatment of women in this new world. also randall in season 2 also talked about it. its coming sooner than later. and its either in the prison or w/ meshon and andrea.

I hope they don't go that direction with the females and the dudes who are in the jail. It's such an obvious story line.

They have been pretty good at tweaking away from the obvious(and the comic), a number of ways that dynamic works

Since even the simplest things often require guidance around here I will answer you and say that after an episode has aired on the network, it's certainly reasonable to discuss it. I am trying not to add "durr." Oh dammit.

More seriously, spoilers would be material from any source that provides information not yet revealed in the tv series. It's that simple. This thread is about watching and sharing on the TV series.

I believe someone actually, and quite properly, started a separate book thread for Game of Thrones just to avoid such problems.

[Skinz4Life12]

is this season 13 episodes again? and will they break it into two segments again like they did with season 2?

[Skinz4Life12]

8 episodes this year, 8 episodes next year.

nice, so 16 episodes in total.
